Are Routine Dental Cleanings Important?

Your teeth are important to you. You brush thoroughly multiple times a day. The last thing you do before you go to bed is brush, floss, and rinse. You’re religious about it because you want your teeth to stay healthy. That’s all well and good, but you need routine dental cleanings as well. No matter how good you are about giving your teeth the attention they deserve, you aren’t going to be able to catch everything. Our dental hygienist has the skills and the tools to make your teeth sparkle.

How Important are Cleanings?

Your routine dental cleanings should be kept faithfully. They’re just as important as your annual physical. Every time that you sit down in the dentist’s chair, your teeth are going to be evaluated. Our hygienist will use an assortment of tools to clean the surface of your teeth. Flossing will be another part of your cleaning. When all is said and done, our dental hygienist will make sure there isn’t any tartar or plaque on your teeth. You’d be surprised what can build up on your teeth between your visits to our office.

How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?

You should schedule your visits every six months. Not only will they keep your teeth in good shape, but they will also give our dental hygienist and dentist a head’s up if you have any problems. Your gums and teeth are evaluated each time.

You’ll see for yourself how important your regular dental cleanings are when you have a clean bill of dental health from our dentist. Your efforts and our dental hygienist’s skills will mean fewer concerns when you are evaluated by our dentist.
